M onths later Ted was at the airport waiting for Beth. He knew she’d wait until the crowd moved through, she’d be patient, it would make it easier. When he saw her, he couldn’t stop grinning. He moved up to greet her, “Beth, you made it!” He grabbed her up and swung her around. He stopped abruptly setting her feet back on the ground. One hand running down to her lower belly.

“What?”

“I can hear you.”

“Surprised, worried, amazed.” He took her arm and headed toward baggage claim. “You didn’t say anything. What has the doctor said? Boy, girl, names.”

She squeezed his hand, “there’s plenty of time for all that.”

Bethany met who would make up the rest of Ted’s team before their daughter was born.
